GIRL, TELL ME

This was intended as a song for Akila. Started out that way, too. But as I went on, I realized I'd like someone to sing this to me. Someone with a voice like Adam Levine's or Michael Buble's.


Girl, tell me,
Why the sadness in your eyes?
Girl, tell me,
What's the story of your life?

The teardrops refusing to spill
From the corner of your eyes
Your smile, so tremulous,
And your gusty, yearning sighs

Talk pages and pages
About what you're going through
Say a million things
About what's happening to you

So,
Girl, tell me
Why the sadness in your eyes?
Girl, tell me,
What's the story of your life?

Where have you lost
Your personal heaven
Where have you left it behind?
Oh, why aren't you in
Your warm, happy haven
What's going on in your mind?

[So, girl, tell me]

Darling, you're not alone,
Not when I'm around,
And you'll never be
Even without me
I promise you, joy is found

I can make you happy
I can make you (laugh) un-sad
I can give you everything
That you need so bad

[So, girl, tell me]


Man, but what a lame effort.
